BUDDHISM: ONE TEACHER, MANY TRADITIONS PART II
- Enroll $247.00 Course
Buddhism is practiced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, from Tibetan caves to Tokyo temples to redwood retreats. All these traditions trace their beginnings to the teachings of one man in India 2,500 years ago. These teachings spread throughout the world and into numerous languages, making Buddhism one of today’s most influential religions.
In this course, you’ll join Venerable Thubten Chodron for an in-depth discussion of the core teachings of Buddhism shared across traditions, such as mindfulness, emptiness, and dependent arising. Ven. Chodron’s illuminating commentary on how each of these, and more, are approached within the many traditions of Buddhism forms the basis for your own exploration of Buddhism’s shared heritage and diverse expression. There is no prerequisite to have taken the previous course; you can join in with the material covered in Part II.
This ten-lesson course is the second in a series based on the book Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions, co-written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Ven. Chodron. This book is an expression of His Holiness’s strong belief in the merit of different Buddhist traditions being more educated about one another.
